Fiber line to the bright side of the moon; transceiver there.

You would still need a power amp repeater every 500 meters, which requires a lot of power and create noise. You can’t be quiet with noise.

Even if you make them sub-surface, or otherwise shield them from the FOV of the antenna?

Yes, because there’s no way to transmit power or data anywhere without being loud af in any signal spectrum. It’s physically impossible.
